How to Bring Your Code of Ethics to Life

Simply having a code of ethics doesn't guarantee that employees will comply by it, or that they will even understand the issues driving it. So how can your organization turn its code of ethics into a relevant, engaging guide that inspires a workforce toward principled behavior? What techniques can help ensure your company's code conduct ethics becomes a living document that inspires principled performance from employees?

LRN's experience has shown that leading companies have the most success when they employ five key elements in developing an engaging code of ethics:

• Create a code of ethics that emphasizes values, supported by rules.
• Educate employees about corporate ethics training to make it relevant and real.
• Reinforce the code of ethics, both in and outside the organization.
• Encourage employees to actively uphold the code of ethics and its values.
• Gather feedback and measure effectiveness, continually improving the code of ethics.
